<p>It might not come as a shock to you if you have followed Eminem’s songs and how once he sang about Rihanna’s domestic violence episode with then-boyfriend Chris Brown and infact sided with the latter. But Eminem is now apologising. Actually he apologised way back but he’s now giving an explanation as to why he apologised.</p>

<p>In one of his songs, Eminem had rapped: "Of course I side with Chris Brown, I’d beat a bitch down too." This is from one of Eminem’s leaked songs from 2009 on Chris Brown-Rihanna episode.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The leaked song came as a shocker for most music fans as Rihanna and Eminem have infact worked together on several projects. Their duel ‘Monster’ and ‘Love The Way You Lie’ were massive hits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the leaked song with offensive lyrics came out, Eminem's publicist clarified that the verse was eventually scrapped but the rapper also directly apologized to Rihanna on ‘Zeus,’ from last year's Music to Be Murdered By Side B.</p>

<p>"But, me, long as I re-promise to be honest / And wholeheartedly, apologies, Rihanna / For that song that leaked, I'm sorry, Ri / It wasn't meant to cause you grief. Regardless, it was wrong of me," he rapped.</p>

<p>Eminem has now also explained why he decided to apologise to Rihanna on "Zeus," as well as his feelings regarding the offending lyric. He said, "I didn't know how somebody got it. I have no recollection of even remembering doing that. That verse, the rhyme schemes, didn't even sound familiar to me. So I was caught off guard too. I was like, 'What the fuck, I said that?'"<br />
"I said it and I was wrong for saying that, it was fucking stupid," he admitted, explaining that while he was recording his 2009 album Relapse he was "learning how to rap again" after battling drug addiction. "That was one of those things that it was like, well, if it rhymes, say it."</p>

<p>"That's not even an excuse, but I'm just saying that there was a phase I was going through with that record. It was one of those things. I think I just said it cause it rhymed. Looking back now, I should have thought better of it."</p>

<p>Rapper Eminem used to collect tapes but shared that as a kid he did not have enough money to buy every tape he ever wanted.<br />
<br />
"It took me about three years to get what I got right now, because some tapes are just harder to find than others. Because when I was a kid, I didn`t have money to buy every tape I ever wanted," Eminem told Apple Music deejay Zane Lowe, reports femalefirst.co.uk.<br />
<br />
The rapper added: "So usually what we had to do was go to this place called Record Time, and I would take the tape that came out a couple of weeks ago, trade it in for the new tape, whatever else was out."<br />
<br />
Eminem shared that he and his friends would take turns buying tapes.<br />
<br />
"And be like, `It`s your turn to buy this tape and I get to dub it, and then it`ll be my turn to buy the next tape`... But I said to myself, `If I ever make it one day as a rapper, I`m going to get every tape that I always wanted.` And there`s something nostalgic about being able to hold the tape," he recalled.<br />

Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is getting you a star-studded music album with his new collaborations project that includes the world`s biggest musicians.

It features heavy hitters including Cardi B, Camila Cabello, Khalid, Travis Scott, Eminem, Meek Mill, and Skrillex, among many others.

No.6 Collaborations Project comes out on July 12, hope you like it as much as I do," he captioned the post.

<p>Hip-hop music is not new to India but it has surely become mainstream after the release of the widely successful film ‘Gully Boy’ starring Ranveer Singh as a street rapper from Mumbai who makes it big because of his passion for music or as Sky, Kalki Koechlin’s character in the film tells him to follow his “<em>junoon</em> and money will follow”.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
While Zoya Akhtar’s film explored Mumbai’s rap culture inspired by the life story of two popular street rappers, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/gully-boy-ranveer-singh-gets-together-with-divine-naezy-for-mere-gully-mein-191979">Divine and Naezy,</a> through their struggles of&nbsp;poverty, crime, family drama and love -- Delhi’s rapper Raftaar wants to shed&nbsp;light on a different narrative. Massively popular for Hindi songs like <em>‘Baby Marvake Maanegi’</em> and <em>‘Gall Goriye’</em>, Raftaar is happy about rap finally getting recognised in India by way of its cinema.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On ‘Gully Boy’ he said, “These guys (Zoya) definitely got inspired from that fact that rappers made a mark for themselves. We are not counted as singers like everybody, we are in a different league, and we are known for different stuff. This movie is for the Bombay hip-hop scene. I come from the Delhi hip-hop scene. The stories, their slangs, they are all different. If a normal guy from Bombay comes to Delhi and starts singing ‘B<em>antai B</em><em>achi</em><em>&nbsp;B</em><em>amai</em><em>’</em>, it’s a Bombay slang, they won't get it. They won't understand what he’s trying to say. So it’s that..the connectivity.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>He continued, “If the entire population would have spoken Hindi then this would have been huge. Problem is, we don't understand the Tamil people up north and they don't understand the Punjabis there. Probably, rappers and singers from both the regions are trying to say something that is necessary for everyone to hear but it’s not happening because of the difference in language and culture in such a small area.”</p>

<p><em><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/indian-american-rapper-raja-kumari-to-wion-one-day-i-will-bring-a-grammy-home-189854">Also </a></em><em><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/indian-american-rapper-raja-kumari-to-wion-one-day-i-will-bring-a-grammy-home-189854">read:</a></em><em><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/indian-american-rapper-raja-kumari-to-wion-one-day-i-will-bring-a-grammy-home-189854">&nbsp;Indian-American rapper Raja Kumari to WION: One day I will bring a Grammy home</a></em><br />
&nbsp;<br />
As the music genre grows popular amongst the youth of the country, Raftaar explains that the one in India is distinctive from the one we have heard from international stars like Eminem and Tupac. He commented, “It's definitely going to be different. Their roots were different like their struggles and ours was different. We initially started off looking at the Western guys and trying to copy them. Most of us kids back then, I am an 88’ born guy, so from my generation&nbsp;everybody either wanted to be a Tupac, Biggie or Eminem.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He added, “Now the situation has changed. With all these years, all of us doing Hindi, Punjabi and regional, a movie on rap etc-- the idols have changed. Now people have started doing stories that are based out of India. Hip-hop has now become Indian in a way.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Raftaar does not identify himself with lyrics that only has ‘girls, parties and drugs’, something Bollywood party hip-hop songs are infamous for. Even though he has collaborated previously with artists that made music on similar themes, the rapper of late believes he has diversified. &nbsp;</p>

<p>With songs of ‘Manto’ and ‘Andhadhun’ in his kitty, Raftaar said, “I am a 100 per cent, a socially-conscious singer. I am a very balanced person. I believe in the property of yin and yang. You have to receive the balance in the centre when you are a musician and an entrepreneur, somebody who is in the business of it. I am not doing this just for the art of it.”</p>

<p>He explained, “Then I would have opted for stage and theatre. I am doing because a part of it has to sell, just to deal with my responsibilities and my family. You must have seen that I don't release a lot of songs because I say no to a lot of stuff that comes my way.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Meanwhile, with ‘Gully Boy’ continuing to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/gully-boy-is-ranveer-singhs-second-biggest-opening-film-at-the-box-office-earns-rs-1940-crores-on-its-first-day-197616">mint money at the box office </a>as the film plot gets lauds from the critics and audiences alike, was any rapper’s story also influenced by his in the film? Raftaar gave an affirmative “no”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He did, however, confirm on being approached and said, “We spoke about it, there was something supposed to happen but then I got busy with stuff and our dates couldn’t match.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Raftaar is currently busy with TV show MTV Roadies. Featuring in the show as a judge along with Neha Dhupia, Rannvijay, Prince Narula, Nikhil Chinappa and real-life hero Sandeep Singh; the rapper has his hands full at the moment. When asked why he opted for an action-oriented show instead of one related to his area of work,&nbsp;he said, “I have never put myself in a box. I started off as an athlete then I went into music. I did ‘Dance India Dance’, ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja’, and now this. I have never wanted to put myself in a frame. These days I am directing small videos for my team. So I would like to try everything that comes my way and is creative.”</p>

Hip-hop music is not new to India but it has surely become mainstream after the release of the widely successful film ‘Gully Boy’ starring Ranveer Singh as a street rapper from Mumbai who makes it big because of his passion for music or as Sky, Kalki Koechlin’s character in the film tells him to follow his “junoon and money will follow”.

Hip-hop music is not new to India but it has surely become mainstream after the release of the widely successful film ‘Gully Boy’ starring Ranveer Singh as a street rapper from Mumbai who makes it big because of his passion for music or as Sky, Kalki Koechlin’s character in the film tells him to follow his “junoon and money will follow”. While Zoya Akhtar’s film explored Mumbai’s rap culture inspired by the life story of two popular street rappers, Divine and Naezy, through their struggles of poverty, crime, family drama and love -- Delhi’s rapper Raftaar wants to shed light on a different narrative. Massively popular for Hindi songs like ‘Baby Marvake Maanegi’ and ‘Gall Goriye’, Raftaar is happy about rap finally getting recognised in India by way of its cinema. On ‘Gully Boy’ he said, “These guys (Zoya) definitely got inspired from that fact that rappers made a mark for themselves. We are not counted as singers like everybody, we are in a different league, and we are known for different stuff. This movie is for the Bombay hip-hop scene. I come from the Delhi hip-hop scene. The stories, their slangs, they are all different. If a normal guy from Bombay comes to Delhi and starts singing ‘Bantai Bachi Bamai’, it’s a Bombay slang, they won't get it. They won't understand what he’s trying to say. So it’s that..the connectivity.” He continued, “If the entire population would have spoken Hindi then this would have been huge. Problem is, we don't understand the Tamil people up north and they don't understand the Punjabis there. Probably, rappers and singers from both the regions are trying to say something that is necessary for everyone to hear but it’s not happening because of the difference in language and culture in such a small area.” Also read: Indian-American rapper Raja Kumari to WION: One day I will bring a Grammy home As the music genre grows popular amongst the youth of the country, Raftaar explains that the one in India is distinctive from the one we have heard from international stars like Eminem and Tupac. He commented, “It's definitely going to be different. Their roots were different like their struggles and ours was different. We initially started off looking at the Western guys and trying to copy them. Most of us kids back then, I am an 88’ born guy, so from my generation everybody either wanted to be a Tupac, Biggie or Eminem.” He added, “Now the situation has changed. With all these years, all of us doing Hindi, Punjabi and regional, a movie on rap etc-- the idols have changed. Now people have started doing stories that are based out of India. Hip-hop has now become Indian in a way.” Raftaar does not identify himself with lyrics that only has ‘girls, parties and drugs’, something Bollywood party hip-hop songs are infamous for. Even though he has collaborated previously with artists that made music on similar themes, the rapper of late believes he has diversified. With songs of ‘Manto’ and ‘Andhadhun’ in his kitty, Raftaar said, “I am a 100 per cent, a socially-conscious singer. I am a very balanced person. I believe in the property of yin and yang. You have to receive the balance in the centre when you are a musician and an entrepreneur, somebody who is in the business of it. I am not doing this just for the art of it.” Listen to 'Mantoiyat' here: He explained, “Then I would have opted for stage and theatre. I am doing because a part of it has to sell, just to deal with my responsibilities and my family. You must have seen that I don't release a lot of songs because I say no to a lot of stuff that comes my way.” Meanwhile, with ‘Gully Boy’ continuing to mint money at the box office as the film plot gets lauds from the critics and audiences alike, was any rapper’s story also influenced by his in the film? Raftaar gave an affirmative “no”. He did, however, confirm on being approached and said, “We spoke about it, there was something supposed to happen but then I got busy with stuff and our dates couldn’t match.” Raftaar is currently busy with TV show MTV Roadies. Featuring in the show as a judge along with Neha Dhupia, Rannvijay, Prince Narula, Nikhil Chinappa and real-life hero Sandeep Singh; the rapper has his hands full at the moment. When asked why he opted for an action-oriented show instead of one related to his area of work, he said, “I have never put myself in a box. I started off as an athlete then I went into music. I did ‘Dance India Dance’, ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja’, and now this. I have never wanted to put myself in a frame. These days I am directing small videos for my team. So I would like to try everything that comes my way and is creative.” View this post on Instagram Yahan apni gang bacha ke chalna padta hai. 🤣🤣 @mtvroadies @mtvindia @nikhilchinapa @princenarula @sandeep_rebirth @rannvijaysingha . 📸 @rjdeigg #raa #raftaar @akprojekts #positive #blessed #peace #thankful A post shared by RAFTAAR (@raftaarmusic) on Mar 14, 2019 at 5:48am PDT × He continued, “Apart from Roadies, I am dropping an album which is completely hip-hop.” Raftaar also has an NGO of his own.

Rapper Eminem is furious as Netflix cancels 'The Punisher' after two seasons

<p>American rapper Eminem, who never shies away from speaking his mind in his music, released a video of his latest freestyle rap, `Kick Off`, and it broaches about the Manchester bombing at the Ariana Grande concert.</p>

<p>According to Variety, Eminem also rapped about drugs, sex, rap and other NSFW topics in the 11 minute-long video. The video of him rapping was shot at Saint Andrew`s Hall in Detroit.</p>

<p>"Positive clean thoughts intervene. But they`re all either altered and mean. Assault and demean, tossed and they`re being lost in the scheme. Squashed in-between a brainwashing machine. Like an Islamic regime, a jihadist extreme radical Suicide bomber that`s seeing. Ariana Grande sing her last song of the evening. And as the audience from the damn concert is leaving. Detonates the device strapped to his abdominal region. I`m not gonna finish that for obvious reasons," the rap reads.</p>

<p>Grande wasn`t the only artist whom Eminem mentioned in the rap. He also complimented Jada Pinkett Smith by rapping, "Told this chick she`s hot as Jada Pinkett / And just stared `til I made her think it."</p>

<p>For Justin Bieber, the hip-hop icon rapped, "Justin Bieber in a Catholic school / Selling dust and reefer when your back is to him''.</p>

<p>Other big names mentioned in the freestyle include Reese Witherspoon, Ric Flair, and Christina Aguilera.</p>

<p>Social media profiles of singers Nicki Minaj and Eminem are proof that the two are dating and if it’s true then this should be the biggest high-profile hookup of 2018 in the world of music.&nbsp;</p>

<p>News of the two dating started circulating ever since Nicki Minaj mentioned how she “just bagged a white guy” and further said, “told ’em I met Slim Shady / Bagged the Em.” Of course we all know that Eminem goes by the name of Em in the close circuit of friends.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When a fan then asked Nicki on Instagram if she was dating Eminem, she flatly responded with “Yes.” It all added up when Eminem then responded saying, “Girl, you know it’s true.”</p>

<p><img alt="New (4)_0.jpg" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="430" src="http://images.wionews.com/iniline-images/New%20(4)_0.jpg" width="770" /></p>

<p>It didn’t stop at this at all as at a recent event, &nbsp;the “Slim Shady” singer gave a shout out to Nicki and asked his fans if they want him to date her. He said, “Yo, Boston, how many people in here want me to date Nicki Minaj? So wait, one more time: Let me make sure I can actually make this official. How many people want me to date Nicki Minaj?”</p>

<p>And as the crowd roared, Eminem confessed he wanted to date her too and said, “Well goddamnit, me too! We’ll figure this s**t out. How we’re gonna deal with this publicly?”</p>

<p>The video soon went viral and reached Nicki who then took to Twitter to write: “Lmfao. The fact that he is silly and a goof just like me. Love him so much. We need you on the Queen album. That’s where our first date will be in the studio while I gaze into your beautiful eyes as you write your verse. (sic)”</p>

The two singers have been writing about one another on social media hinting at something going on between the two

Social media profiles of singers Nicki Minaj and Eminem are proof that the two are dating and if it’s true then this should be the biggest high-profile hookup of 2018 in the world of music. News of the two dating started circulating ever since Nicki Minaj mentioned how she “just bagged a white guy” and further said, “told ’em I met Slim Shady / Bagged the Em.” Of course we all know that Eminem goes by the name of Em in the close circuit of friends. When a fan then asked Nicki on Instagram if she was dating Eminem, she flatly responded with “Yes.” It all added up when Eminem then responded saying, “Girl, you know it’s true.” It didn’t stop at this at all as at a recent event, the “Slim Shady” singer gave a shout out to Nicki and asked his fans if they want him to date her. He said, “Yo, Boston, how many people in here want me to date Nicki Minaj? So wait, one more time: Let me make sure I can actually make this official. How many people want me to date Nicki Minaj?” And as the crowd roared, Eminem confessed he wanted to date her too and said, “Well goddamnit, me too! We’ll figure this s**t out. How we’re gonna deal with this publicly?” The video soon went viral and reached Nicki who then took to Twitter to write: “Lmfao. The fact that he is silly and a goof just like me. Love him so much. We need you on the Queen album. That’s where our first date will be in the studio while I gaze into your beautiful eyes as you write your verse. (sic)” LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The fact that he’s silly & a goof just like me?. Love him so much. Em we need you on the #Queen album. That’s where our 1st date will be; at the studio while I gaze into ur beautiful eyes as u write ur verse. ????? https://t.co/iFYi0OlzXQ — Chun-Li (@NICKIMINAJ) May 28, 2018 × Just announce it, you guys!

Eminem reveals album's release date and star-studded tracklist

<p>Rapper Eminem launched court action against New Zealand&#39;s ruling political party on Monday, accusing it of using an unlicensed version of his hit &quot;Lose Yourself&quot; in a campaign advert.</p>

<p>Lawyers for the US artist told the High Court in Wellington that he never gave the National Party permission to use the song, which featured in the 2002 movie &quot;8 Mile&quot;.</p>

<p>Barrister Garry Williams said National breached the copyright of Eight Mile Style, Eminem&#39;s publisher, by using the tune in a 2014 election television commercial.</p>

<p>Williams said the Detroit rapper&#39;s hit was &quot;iconic&quot;, having won an Academy Award, two Grammys, and critical acclaim.</p>

<p>He said that meant rights to the work were &quot;enormously valuable&quot; and were strictly controlled by the publisher, which had rarely licensed them for advertising purposes.</p>

<p>Williams said the song, which topped the charts in 24 countries, dealt with &quot;the idea of losing yourself in the moment and not missing opportunities in life&quot;.</p>

<p>&quot;That&#39;s why the song appeals to both the public and those who wish to influence the public by using it in advertising,&quot; he said.</p>

<p>No details were immediately revealed of what damages Eminem was seeking.</p>

<p>National&#39;s lawyers are set to argue the tune they used, &quot;Eminem-esque&quot;, was a generic track that was part of a library bought from production music supplier Beatbox.</p>

<p>They are expected to contend that any copyright infringement was accidental.</p>

<p>The conservative party&#39;s campaign director Steven Joyce dismissed Eminem&#39;s claim when the row erupted in 2014.</p>

<p>&quot;We think it&#39;s pretty legal, I think these guys are just having a crack,&quot; he told reporters at the time.</p>

<p>The judge-only hearing is scheduled to take six days.</p>
